🦶 Painful apex callus removal This is an apex callus on the tip of the toe. These form when the toe bones (phalanges) claw down and pinch the skin between the bone and the ground. Over time, that pressure causes the skin to thicken and harden, creating a painful callus right on the toe tip. They’re often very sore, especially in work boots or tight shoes — but the good news is they’re quick and easy to remove in clinic, providing instant relief. Long-term prevention is key. We focus on: ✔️ Properly fitting footwear with enough length and depth ✔️ Reducing pressure on the tips of the toes ✔️ Managing clawing toes so the skin isn’t being constantly pinched If you’re getting painful calluses on the ends of your toes, don’t ignore them — treating the pressure is just as important as removing the skin. 🔗 Learn more or book an appointment: ergonx.com.au #podiatry #callusremoval #apexcallus #footpain #toepain
